Abstract: 
The Oscilloscope ranges from the CRO (Cathode Ray Oscilloscope) to DSOs (Digital Storage Oscilloscopes), which is a type of electronic test equipment that presents the dynamics of a time-varying signal as a two-dimensional pattern on a screen. Design of a virtual oscilloscope is a work that seeks to replicate the basics of power measurement of a physical oscilloscope, which is the most widely used general-purpose electronic test instrument in the laboratory but is plagued by limited supply due to high cost. As such this project bridges the gap between direct contact with the instrument and the usage of a virtual laboratory. Engineers have dealt with different spheres of this virtualization of oscilloscopes. However, this work managed to bring four different quantities; current, voltage, power, and resistance into one platform, reducing the cost and stress of having separate platforms. The work adopted Wavesurfer scope techniques and used complex AC circuits analysis to model a partial network virtualization platform, based on the ASP.NET Framework built using visual C# in Microsoft Visual Studio. The six initial inputs options: voltage and current (V-I), voltage and power (V-P), voltage and resistance (V-R), current and power (I-P), current and resistance (I-R), power and resistance (P-R) as measured on a meter of specified type (Averager or RMS), serve as physical inputs, which, combined with the operating mains frequency, is passed using dedicated algorithms to obtain the derivative Amplitudes.
